“What could be the possible reason for my mother's stomach cramp?”
My mother is 54 years old and since last night she has been complaining of severe stomach cramps. What could be the reason for these cramps? Is it worrisome or will it settle on its own?

Hello and sorry for your mother's troubles.
I'm afraid there is not enough information provided to be able to comment with any specificity.
By cramps, I assume you mean that pain comes and goes or fluctuates. If this is the case, then it is probably coming from the lumenal GI tract, but without additional details, I cannot tell if the stomach, small intestine or colon might be the origin. The exact location of pain and any other features that worsen or lessen the pain are important to know. Much more information about the cramps would be needed in order for a doctor to determine what the cause might be.
Sorry that I cannot be of more help.

There are many possible reasons. Change in diet or stress could be benign causes. Lactose intolerance is another possibility. If there is no evidence of fever, weight loss or blood in the stool The symptoms may resolve with time. If however, alarm symptoms develop further investigation by a gastroenterologist may be necessary.
Hi.
You have not provided any medical history about your mom, which makes it difficult to answer your question. If her cramps persist, she should visit her doctor or an urgent care center, or the closet ER.
